SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Trial Courts budget accounts for the County's obligations to the State on behalf of the Courts as outlined in the Trial Courts Funding Act of 2002. AB 233 authorized the transfer of responsibility for Trial Courts funding from counties to the State and established an expenditure and revenue Maintenance of Effort (MOE) obligation for each county. The County MOE is based on the amount of County General Funds expended for Trial Courts operations and the amount of certain designated fines and forfeiture revenues distributed to the State in the base year (FY 1994-95).
Revised estimated expenditures in FY 2018-19 are $7,977,717. Revised estimated expenditures represents an increase of $131,431 from FY 2018-19 adopted budget.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
None.
FINANCING:
The recommended action will decrease FY 2018-19 General Fund Contingencies to $743,656.
